PROFILE

Bethany Rogerson works with the Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts that helps illuminate how health is directly influenced by social and economic factors, such as employment, housing, and education, and seeks to promote the use of health impact assessments as a decision-making tool for policymakers in the United States. Rogerson has worked with the project since its inception. She develops, executes, and oversees strategies that incorporate health considerations into decision-making processes, policies, and systems with a focus on advancing tools and approaches that bring together evidence and engagement, such as health impact assessment.

Before joining Pew, Rogerson worked in development with the League of Conservation Voters, and as a paralegal for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.

She has a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Michigan and a master’s in social policy from the University of Pennsylvania.
